Listen "US Open Day 2 - Alcaraz wins, but what did he do to his hair??"
Episode Synopsis
Part one - Day session. We cover Madison Keys’ shock defeat to Renata Zarazua and the way she described nerves as “paralysing” her. And that wasn’t the only big women’s result as Victoria Mboko lost to Barbora Krejcikova. How did we not see that one coming? Elsewhere, there’s chat about Jack Draper’s desire for more time on court, France’s Tiafoe’s position in the pecking order of American men at this tournament, and Joao Fonseca setting up a round two clash with Tomas Machac. Part two - Night session (36:57). Carlos Alcaraz has a new haircut…and a new ability to lock in in the first round? We discuss his straight sets win over Reilly Opelka and round up the other key moments, including an incredible second set by Venus Williams in her eventual defeat to Karolina Muchova. Oh and there’s also a rant about faff. Part three - Day three order of play and tribute to Angela Mortimer Barrett.
